D&D 5E Creativity Challenge; A Character Based Around One Spell

[Laurefindel]

Here’s a creativity challenge for those who feel up to it; design a character centered around one single spell.

Roll on the tables below to generate a spell, then create a character concept based on that spell. That spell doesn’t have to be the only spell your character can cast, but it should be the focus of its abilities (however narrow they be). The character can be of any class as long as the selected spell can legitimately be cast.

Character level is left at your discretion, but the point isn’t only about DPR (although it can be used as a metric) or finding a particularly clever use or combo. One spell, one character, and the two should go together somehow. You can also assume that your character will have other companions in their party, or else occupy a specific function within a guild, government, church, etc.

The submitted concept is a draft only; it does not have to be a complete, finished character, but meaningful traits, skills, abilities, spells, and other party members should appear as part of your concept. Assume standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) for starting ability score. Feats, multiclassing, and official variant rules (if pertinent) are allowed, as well as any character class, archetype, and race, from other official 5e books* (although for the sake of intellectual gymnastics, the custom lineage from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is discouraged).

So roll-up your sleeve, roll-up a spell, and roll-up a character!

Roll d10 = 7 ---> Roll d10 = 10 ---> Sleet Storm

Ummm, Ok, there’s this cheesy built. Feta cheese actually…

Boga Feta is a bounty hunter from house Tharashk specialised in taking down spellcasters, wizards in particular (his papa was killed by wizards, you see). Like the last chunk of feta cheese hiding in the thick brine, Boga swims with ease in a soup of ice and rain that he unleashes upon his enemies.

Boga Feta
Half Orc (mark of finding), Fighter 1 / Cleric (Tempest) 8

Str 14, Dex 12, Con 13+1, Wis 15+2, Int 8, Cha 10
Skills: Athletics, Insight, Perception, Survival
Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution
Proficiencies: martial weapon, all armours, shields
Fighting Style: Blind Fighting
Feat: Mage Slayer, War Caster

Notable Spells: sleet storm (3rd level), freedom of movement (4th level), whatever precious few cleric spells that don’t require concentration, and the few blasting spells from the Tempest domain.

The core of the concept is a Darkness/Devil Sight combo on steroids. Sleet Storm has three main effects:

• Creates a heavily obscured area (people inside are blinded) which Darkvision, Devil Sight, and even Truesight can’t counter.
• Creates difficult terrain with a Dex save or fall prone.
• Forces Con save on spellcasters or they lose concentration.

All that in a cylinder 20 feet high and 80 feet wide (40’ radius). This is huge! If centred on a spellcaster, they can’t even misty step out of it because they can’t see squat within the reach of the spell.

Then enters our cheesy hero with freedom of movement on, ignoring the difficult terrain part. The Blind Fighting fighting style gives him a 10-foot blindsight, allowing him to go close and personal with those tricky wizards (attacking with advantage, and imposing disadvantage on attacks against him). Now the Con-save-or-lose-concentration thing is great when it happens to others, but less so when it makes you lose your own spell! Luckily Feta has Con save proficiency from his first level as a fighter, and the War Caster feat to back it up.

Now, these nasty wizards sometimes fight back! That’s where the Mage Slayer feat comes handy; either the wizard stays and receives an attack as a reaction should they cast a spell, or they leave and provoke an attack of opportunity. Make that an inflict wounds of opportunity actually.

In the meantime, the rest of Boga's party is wondering what to do... Boga Feta works alone, not because he doesn’t want partners, but because no one wants to deal with his gorram sleet storms all the time…

 

[Asisreo]

I've gotten Hallucinatory Terrain. This may seem unfortunate but it adds to the challenge in my eyes. I just went to work so I'll finalize my character after that. Unless I'm lazy/tired of course.

 

[DND_Reborn]

So, I got Blur.

I am thinking a fun concept would be a Rogue (AT) / Monk (maybe Sun Soul for the "glow"...?). Something like this:

But with the "whole body" blurring...

I'm not going to do a full build since I really don't have the time or inclination--but that's the concept.

 

[NotAYakk]

1d10: 9
1d6: 1
1d4 (typo in level 9, I assume 1d4): Imprisonment

Bob was a farmer. Bob found a shiny stone. Inside the shiny stone was a strange person.

That strange person taught Bob where to find magic and power that being hid throughout the world. One day the tiny person wishes Bob to free them as a reward for all they have done for Bob.

Warlock - Genie pact. Can't cast Imprisonment yet, but will eventually be able to. But the character is built around that Imprisoned patron.

 

[Al'Kelhar]

I got greater invisibility. So I went looking for an image of The Invisible Man to post...

Spoiler: Invisible Man

Really?

Cheers, Al'kelhar

Telepathy.

Thelowyn Ardunair was initiated into the Tower of Sorcery and enjoyed studying under her archmage father. Their bond was close, and Thelowyn grew accustomed to the telepathic guidance and admonitions of her father even when they were apart. On the day her fifteen year magical apprenticeship ended, Thelowyn witnessed the Tower of Sorcery destroyed by an eldritch portal tearing it apart brick by brick while she was in telepathic contact with her father and mentor.

For the first time in 15 years, there was a deep unnerving silence. The only trace she found of him afterwards was a charred silver signet ring which had once been magically linked with another ring (which was to bear her signet) – a component for the telepathy spell he used to stay in contact with his daughter.

Thelowyn adventures in search of spell research to help her recreate her father's telepathy spell and try to find him, refusing to believe he died at the Tower of Sorcery.

Ugh... Prismatic Wall. Here goes...

A half-elf named Yeosef grew up in the streets of the Free City of Greyhawk. His human mother died when he was young, and his elven father had been gone before he was even born. Being poor, his clothes were rags and patches of whatever was available, causing the locals to call him "patchwork." Thievery was his first profession, but he wasn't very good at it. One time he tried to pick the pocket of what he thought a nobleman, who was in fact a renowned bard. The bard took pity on him, and tutored him in the art of illusions and defensive magic. Upon his departure, his master gave him a patchwork cloak, that he may always remember his humble roots, no matter how far he may go.

Now he travels the Flannaess, having become a Master Bard himself. He primarily offers entertainment for the people he meets, using his knowledge of the prism of colors to create exciting illusions. However, when innocents are threatened, he gathers them close, hiding them behind a Prismatic Wall. He dislikes harming others, and the wall is powerful enough to discourage enemies to try and pierce it.

1d10: 9
1d6: 1
1d4 (typo in level 9, I assume 1d4): Imprisonment

Bob was a farmer. Bob found a shiny stone. Inside the shiny stone was a strange person.

That strange person taught Bob where to find magic and power that being hid throughout the world. One day the tiny person wishes Bob to free them as a reward for all they have done for Bob.

Warlock - Genie pact. Can't cast Imprisonment yet, but will eventually be able to. But the character is built around that Imprisoned patron.

and then 17 levels later, Bob-the-warlock casts imprisonment on his arch-nemesis in another gem. A few generation later Bob's legacy poorly managed his estate and lost the shiny stone, which was found by Jane the baker. Inside the shiny stone was a strange person...

my son rolled the same spell yesterday, making a wizard obsessed with forcing his opponent to walk/fall/fly/pushed/pulled through the wall with all kinds of shenanigans à la Wile E. Coyote, such as reverse gravity/ceiling wall, or glyph of warding-triggered cloudkill to force them out of the dome, Bigby's forceful hand, mass suggestion to walk eyes close, then cast wall, telekinesis/thunderwave enemies through, knocking them prone while flying over the wall...

Basically, come up with a different death-by-prismatic-wall every fight.
